Leonard Tow Humanism in Medicine Award

Each year, Leonard Tow Humanism in Medicine Awards are presented to a graduating student and faculty member (M.D. or D.O.) at over 100 of the nation’s medical schools. This award is given to those who best demonstrate the Foundation’s ideals of outstanding compassion in the delivery of care; respect for patients, their families, and healthcare colleagues; and clinical excellence.

The Gold Foundation began this award in 1991 at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons. The Healthcare Foundation of New Jersey began replicating these awards nationwide in 1998, with participation from The Gold Foundation. In 2003, with a generous donation from Leonard Tow, these awards became solely sponsored and administered by The Gold Foundation.
